Jungle beats and animal behaviour dominate trends for summer 2009
Not surprisingly our thoughts have turned to summer cocktails, summer nights, summer sunshine and summer style.
The weather has been extremely gracious to us over the last few weeks so most of us ladies have had to adapt our wardrobe or modify our shopping mentality to ensure comfort and confidence as we step outside.
Well fortunately it seems our past buys can be reformed this year very easily with a few well thought out pieces of statement jewellery, turning last years outfits into this years on trend head turners.
So last years flattering maxi dresses can be enhanced with chunky bracelets and statement necklaces to get a really casual but gorgeous summer look.
Nail two trends at once by picking tribal jewellery which turns any plain summer outfit into a stylish summer ensemble.

Tribal trends dominate 2009
Fashion for spring summer has gone on a far flung jungle expedition, throwing some much needed exoticism and interest into our wardrobes.
The tribal trend was all over the catwalk over the last few weeks with animal prints from Christopher Kane, and fabulous Egyptian drapery.
Our prediction is this theme will be easily translated onto the high street and stores will have gorgeous key pieces so look out for those on your next shopping trip.
To guarantee you are ahead of the game just pair a tribal patterned dress or tunic with some metallic accessories.
This will accentuate olive skin and make pale skin look porcelain and perfect.
You'll feel like a million dollars - plus you'll look like you've just landed back on this continent from some India Jones style adventures!

On trend eye-wear - Is there such a thing anymore?
Over the past few years there has been one style of eye-wear which has definately dominated our fashion radar - the oversized sunny.
It's a wearable A-list style which glams up any outfit and provides a bit of anonymity when needed. It's a firm favourite with celebs like Paris Hilton, Victoria Beckham and Angelina Jolie. However - is it time to ditch the bumble bee look for something a bit more individual?
Think about how many styles are out there - Round frames, Aviator, Brightly Coloured, Kitch, Squared, Retro; the list goes on and on. We want to see more shapes and colours decorating the faces of this pretty nation come summer time.
You don't have to be an indie kid to wear creative or retro glasses. The catwalks were littered with bold designs that leapt of the stage. We think you should ditch the oversized sunnies for summer 2009 and go bright, bold and unique!
